A disturbing incident of gang-rape sent shockwaves across Paris as French police are probing the incident occurred with 25-year-old victim who took refuge in fast food shop in Pigalle district over the weekend.

The woman was reportedly at bars and clubs around Moulin Rouge on the night of July 19 before the men reportedly confronted her at an unspecified location.
She said the attackers were having African appearance and stated that they raped her in the wee hours. After escaping, she sought help at the kebab shop.
